FORAGING BEHAVIOR, BOTANICAL COMPOSITION, AND QUALITY OF BEEF CATTLE DIETS ON BURNED VERSUS UNBURNED FOOTHILL RANGELANDS

Foraging Behavior, Botanical Composition, and Quality of Beef Cattle Diets on Burned Versus Unburned Foothill Rangelands

Current management paradigms suggest deferring grazing rangeland for two years post-fire to avoid additional stress on native grass species, but there is little research supporting these recommendations.This study was Toslink conducted within and adjacent to the burn area of a wildfire to evaluate the differences in diet quality, botanical composit

Glutamine as sole nitrogen source prevents induction of nitrate transporter gene NRT2.4 and affects amino acid metabolism in Arabidopsis

Plants assimilate inorganic nitrogen (N) to glutamine.Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in most plant species, the N-supplying precursor of all N-containing compounds in the cell and the first organic nitrogen molecule formed from inorganic nitrogen taken Pump Drive Belt up by the roots.In addition to its role in plant nutrition, glutamine
